Don't have the shopsmith bandsaw but I do have this blade. Make sure you get the additional information on how to tension it from Highland and I hope it works with the shopsmith band saw.

This is a GREAT blade, best I've ever had since I've had my bandsaw (early 1970's).

Ed,

I bought one of these blades for my Shopsmith bandsaw and it seems to work fine with the normal tension settings. Highland did not provide any specific instructions as to tensioning it differently. I went to the Highland store as I live relatively close (50 miles) and talked with the staff at length about this blade and other woodworking topics.

I found the length listed on page 7 of my "11 in bandsaw" reference manual (555943) Copyright 2003. Just happened to be getting ready to do some resawing on a bed project and saw the data. Otherwise I probably would never have remembered it!!!
I have started to make a habbit of reading the manuals before I start using one of the attachments that I don't use often, like the band saw and planer. Seems to be a good idea.
